encompasses information transfer and processing resources, including information and data storage, manipulation, retrieval, and display. More specifically, the DII is the shared or interconnected system of computers, communications, data, applications, security, people, training, and other support structure, serving the DOD's local and worldwide information needs. The DII (a) connects DOD mission support, command and control, and intelligence computers and users through voice, data, imagery, video, and multimedia services, and (b) provides information processing and value-added services to subscribers over the DISN. Unique user data, information, and user applications are not considered part of the DII.[1]
